Another art lesson!

The second art lesson was about the color wheel.  The artist talked about primary and complementary colors.  Then she had the students draw a turtle using shapes.  I have been trying to teach the students this when they draw a person!  Hopefully hearing it from a true artist then may be it will stick!  When they drew the turtle, they started out with an oval then added a circle for the head and a triangle for the tail.  They made a half circle for each of the legs.  To make the shell, she had them split the oval into six sections by drawing three lines.  In each section, she had them color with water color crayons.  Red went on top then green below, yellow on top then purple below, orange on top then blue below.  Next they took water with a paint brush and painted on top of the crayons.  They turned into watercolor paint!  The students thought that this was magic!  They got really excited and I did too!  I need to purchase those crayons for my classroom!
